Way back when, it wasn't all that commonplace for your cell phone tohave an integrated digital music player. A cell phone was a cell phoneand nothing more. Nowadays you're going to have a hard time finding onethat doesn't. The main problem is that when you're using a set ofheadphones to listen to your tunes you really don't have much of anoption but to disconnect them to take a call. The high-end speakermanufacturers at Klipsch have got your back with their latest creation,the Image S2m In-Ear Headset with Mic Headphones.

The Image S2m features a compact in-line mic that lets you answer or endcalls with the touch of a button. This button also lets you trackforward and track back as well as play and pause songs on the iPodclassic 120GB, iPod nano 4th generation (video), iPod touch 2ndgeneration, iPod shuffle 3rd generation and iPhone 3G S. And theengineers at Klipsch state that the mic has amazing intelligibility, soit can easily pick up your voice without having to talk directly intoit. Maybe this will stop people from shouting into their handsfreedevices and annoying the rest of us.

These headphones come with three different sizes of washable ear tips:small, medium and large single flange designs. As a bonus, because manyphones have side-mounted headphone jacks, the S2m employs a right-angledplug that swivels to avoid the damage that's often associated withstraight plug designs. It's also a feature that lets your phone fitcomfortably in your pocket.

The Image S2m is available in a piano black finish and comes with threedifferent-sized oval ear tips and a cloth carrying pouch. It carries atwo-year warranty and works with portable devices that feature astandard 3.5mm headphone jack. They must have done something rightbecause they are on backorder.
